Reviews

Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

As one of the few netbooks with a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics, the 12.1-inch Eee PC 1201N has superior performance compared with most Atom-based machines, but any higher-level ULV thin-and-light will still do better.

Its Activation process is a royal pain, and set-up is likewise fiddly, but it ranks amongst the best in its class for ease-of-use video editing.
Windows Live Hotmail

Drag-and-drop message organisation and a built-in MP3 player are among the notable new features to this radical overhaul of Hotmail.
